I am a desktop user currently running RedHat 9.0, but don't know how to communicate with my window$ partition to import my existing data (about 1.3gb). Also it does not support my Motorola SM56 modem.
I've been thinking about lycoris to ease the transition (I don't really agree with the motto: Linux is for everyone?!?).
I'm not concerned about support, I only want stability (my computer has crashed 4 times in the last 5 years- courtesy Micro$oft) and extensibility (Linux is my long-term answer).
Any suggestions? I can't really commit the time for trouble shooting every other error.
Where is the drive that you want to get the data from (primary master, secondary master.....). If it is on the same drive as linux, what does you partiion table look like?
